Gandhi Calls for India-West Partnership to Create Democratic Manufacturing Alternative to China

Rahul Gandhi accused the West of facilitating China's "coercive production model" by refusing to deal with industrial manufacturing.
Gandhi said the US and Europe decided decades ago not to be in the business of production and handed it to China.
Gandhi proposed India and the West partner to create a democracy-based manufacturing alternative to China's model.
Gandhi said India alone cannot replace China's manufacturing capacity, instead a new democratic production model is needed.
On foreign policy, Gandhi said Congress would largely maintain India's current balancing stance between Russia, the US and others.
